Socioeconomic Context, Family Regimes, and Women's Early Labor Market Experience: The Case of Colombia and Venezuela

چکیده
— This paper compares the early labor market experience of mature and young cohorts of women in Bogot a and Caracas. The cross-country, cross-cohort comparisons demonstrate the importance of both rising women’s human capital and family regimes to women’s labor market behavior. While divorce was a central stimulus of women’s work in both contexts, the more stable, patriarchal family regime in Bogot a more strongly conflicted with employment than the matrifocal and flexible pattern in Caracas. Results also show important changes in the dynamics of female employment, as younger cohorts exhibit more intermittent and unstable employment patterns. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
